How to Make Italian Dressing Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

  1. Place a whole (approximately 3-4 pound) chicken in the bottom of your 5-7 quart slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the Italian dressing mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
  4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding or carving.
  6. Meanwhile, strain the pan juices from the slow cooker to remove any solids. You can use these juices to make gravy or chicken stock.
  7. Serve the shredded chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed red potatoes and corn on the cob.
